Exchange buyers: which side buyers took (Kalshi, Polymarket, Novig, ProphetX)

These are exchange trades, not sportsbook bets. On an exchange every trade has a buyer and a seller, so this shows which side buyers paid for.

How to read these numbers

Kalshi, Polymarket and Novig publish every trade with the side the buyer took. ProphetX carries its trade fills the same way; a line with no captured fill shows dollars matched only. Trades is each side's share of trades since the market opened and Money is its share of the dollars buyers paid. Markets with fewer than 10 trades or under $500 traded are left out; markets under 30 trades or $5,000 are labelled Light trading, because a few buyers can move the percentages a long way.

📘 New to betting? Two-minute translation. A moneyline bet is picking who wins, nothing else. In this game, +230 means a $100 bet profits $230 if it wins. The spread is a head start: -7.5 must win by 8+, while +7.5 cashes by losing by 7 or fewer (or winning). The total is combined points by both teams, over or under the books' number. +EV means the price pays better than the market-implied fair odds (vig removed); consistently taking better prices raises your expected return over time.

Is the Michigan State vs Duke Price Right?

The betting market gives the Duke Blue Devils about a 71% chance to beat the Michigan State Spartans. Our rating says 66%. That gap is the story, because one book is dealing a price that sits right on the edge of the market's math. On Tuesday night at the United Center, the question for a bettor is not who is better. It is whether any number on the board pays more than it should.

Who Is Favored to Win Michigan State vs Duke?

Duke is the favorite. Both teams are 2-0 as of publication, but two games into the season is far too early to read anything into a record. This is a neutral site, so neither team is at home. Both teams get four days of rest, and neither is on a back-to-back. Michigan State traveled 173 miles and Duke traveled 620, and each crossed one time zone west. The last meeting was 339 days ago, and Duke won it. Tip-off is Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN.

Players to Watch

Patrick Ngongba II leads Duke at 9.5 per game over two games, which is a small sample. His longer run shows 10.2 points per game over his last five games and 10.9 over his last ten, plus 5.4 rebounds per game over the last five. He logged a team-high 25 minutes last game, ahead of John Blackwell and Sebastian Wilkins at 23 each.

Jeremy Fears Jr. leads Michigan State at 6.3 per game over two games, also a small sample. Over his last five games he averages 11.4 points, and over his last ten it is 15.4. He played 25 minutes last game, just behind Jordan Scott and Jasiah Jervis at 26 each.

What Is the Michigan State vs Duke Spread?

Start with the moneyline, which is a bet on who wins outright. Duke is -233 at Kalshi. The minus sign marks the favorite, so a $100 bet profits $42.92 if Duke wins. Michigan State is +225 at Courtside. The plus sign marks the underdog, so $100 profits $225.00. The point spread is Duke -6.5. Duke must win by 7 or more to cover (win the spread bet). Michigan State +6.5 covers with an outright win or a loss by 6 or fewer, and a 7-point loss sinks it.

Both sides are -108 at Courtside, so $100 profits $92.59. The total is 148.5 combined points, and you bet the over or the under at -108 at Courtside. At the open, five books ranged from 148.5 at Rebet to 149.5 at Caesars. On Kalshi, 51% of the money traded on the moneyline is on Duke Blue Devils (95 trades, $1.3k traded). That is light trading, so the share can swing. Shopping every book for the best number is our edge.

Where the Value Is

Books build in a fee called the vig, which makes both sides cost a little extra. Strip it out and the market reads Duke at about 71.3% and Michigan State at 28.7%. Duke at -233 has a break-even of 70%, meaning it must win 70% of the time just to tie. Be honest about the cushion. So this edge rests on the market's own number and is razor thin.

The Pick

We lean Duke moneyline at -233 at Kalshi. It is the only price on this board that pays more than the market's no-vig read. It is a price-only lean, so anything worse than -233 is a pass. This is Wise Guy Desk analysis, not an official play.
